Now it is really hard for me to withhold a laugh! When my personal assistant said that she didn’t know how to make applesauce, I felt a laugh aching to burst forth! My sister has made it abundantly clear to me that making applesauce is really easy with the following recipe! The teacher in me also wanted to tell her how simple it can be! However, I didn’t want her to change her mind and make applesauce. The desire to have the pleasure of consuming the apple crisp made it possible for me to choke back my laughter!

Enjoy the recipes!

5 to 8 apples peeled, cored and quartered

Add apples and lemon juice to frying pan with 2 T. butter and sauté about 10 minutes. Mix in cinnamon. Put a little butter into Round Tray and melt in oven. Divide apple mixture among wells, then add 1/4 c. + 1 T. batter in each well. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes until puffy, golden and done in the center. Drizzle maple syrup on top if you like.You can save yourself a step by putting the apples and lemon juice with butter into each cup of the Round Tray and cook in oven first.

My sister brought me a bag of apples from the apple tree in her yard. I got down to just a few apples, like maybe eight. I wanted someone to make me an apple crisp. One person said that I didn’t have enough apples, that I should just make apple sauce. Then another personal assistant came. I asked her to make apple sauce. She said “I don’t know how to make apple sauce, but I will make you an apple crisp.” I told her that she was speaking my language! I am forever amazed that what someone deems impossible, another thinks possible!
